Dear Mrs Yollis and students,
ReplyDeleteThankyou for another truly wonderful skyping lesson.
I must say you do find out a lot of wonderful and interesting facts each time you have skyped with your new and old blogging buddies.
Well done Alexa,Kristen and Adia for keeping notes while skyping you all deserve a medal!
Keep up the awesome work as I just love to visit your blog.
From the other end of the globe,
your blogging buddy A♥A.
Dear Mrs. Yollis,
ReplyDeleteWe both loved skyping with the people in New York! Jaden is going to New York on the 16th. In fact, he goes every year. Iman has never been to New York. We both think that it is strange that we both have so many differences in our communities! For example, our population is very different.
Jaden would like to have a link to their blog. We also cannot believe that it was New York's first time skyping, and it is with us! Are you surprised?
How long have you been skyping? Who are the next people we will be skyping with?
Are we going to skype with anyone that we already have skyped with?
Sincerely,
Im★an and J★den
Dear AA,
ReplyDeleteThank you for your kind words.
We think you are very funny when you said we deserve a medal.
Thank you for directly addressing us. We learned that in school, AA.
We just have to get used to no medals!
We have a question for you:
Have you ever done TodaysMeet?
Your friends,
Adia and Alexa
@ Adia and Alexa,
ReplyDeleteNice of you girls to write back to me.
I really do feel you deserve medals for I you do an outstanding job. I don't think I could do it.
I will have to work on the medals for you girls.
Now to your question you asked me no I have never done TodaysMeet?
Take Care girls.
From your blogging buddy,
AA.
Dear Mrs. Yollis and class,
ReplyDeleteIt was a lot of fun skyping with New York City! Wow, you have nine hundred students in your school which is about as large as the whole town of Reefton, New Zealand. Reefton is a town that we also skyped with.
A fact that I want to know is what is the highest building in New York city and how high is it?
I have never been to New York City and after learning so many interesting facts, I hope that one day I will be able to come and visit your state and city.
From,
♥Miriam♥

Dear Mrs.Yollis' class,
ReplyDeleteDo you have trains in California?
Our highest building in New York is the Empire State Building.
It is about 21 degrees. The weather man said that it feels like 9 degrees. It is freezing!
You can look at The Empire State Building. It is our tallest building. It is in Manhattan and you can see it because it's very tall.
ReplyDeleteYou cannot see it in California because it's very far away from you!
My teacher just said it is 25 degrees Fahrenheit, but the weather man said it is feeling like 9 degrees Fahrenheit. It's freezing in New York City!
If you ever visit New York you can see the Statue of Liberty. It was a present from France. Another thing you can see is the Empire State Building. It is the tallest building in the world. Today it is 24 degrees. It feels like 9 degrees. It is freezing in New York.

The tallest building in NEW YORK is the EMPIRE STATE BUILDING. The most interesting fact I learned was that it does not snow in CALIFORNIA. Your community doesn't have snow and we have snow.
